A passenger plane of the American airline Southwest Airlines, which was on its way from Houston to the city of Columbus in Ohio, had to make an emergency landing in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The reason: during the flight, a 34-year-old passenger got up from her seat, walked to the back of the plane and stared suspiciously at the plane's door.
This was reported by the FBI.
From documents released yesterday (Monday) on the issue by the Arkansas District Court, it appears that at this stage of the flight, a flight attendant came to the passenger and asked her to return to her seat or use the bathroom, if she wanted to.
The passenger continued to stare at the window and even asked two flight attendants if she could continue and do so.
When she received a negative answer from one of the flight attendants, she tried to force open the plane door.
This whole scene happened at an altitude of about 12,000 meters.

Because of the bites: they had to force her mouth open
One of the passengers, who witnessed the incident and heard that the same passenger was trying to open the door, also went to the back of the plane, and helped the flight attendants to detain the woman.
He wrestled with her, pinning her to the floor but "earned" a bite on her thigh.
She continued to bite him more and more, until it was necessary to forcefully open her mouth and release the bite.
According to the report from the court, at this point the woman started banging her head on the floor of the plane and then said: "Jesus told me to fly to Ohio and Jesus told me to open the plane door."
After the emergency landing, the bite victim was brought to a hospital and given antibiotics and anti-jaundice shots.
The report also shows that the accused told the authorities that she planned to go to Maryland to stay with a family friend who used to be a priest.
She left her house last Saturday without telling anything to her husband and did not bring any luggage.
According to her, she hadn't flown in a long time and couldn't remember the last time she got on a plane.
In her statement she said that she could not breathe on the plane and decided to get up from her seat.
She also added that she remembers that she did try to open the door and bit the person.
She also said she suffers from anxiety.
"I became very anxious and normally I wouldn't do these things."
The website click2houston reports that the passenger is expected to face charges of assault and interference with flight crew members.
